Rose Hip Vital - Experiences Please Any Animal

[Loving my Oldies]

Thanks @Sagittarian.  Both the dogs on whom I was trying it are overweight.  As I said in a previous post, the weight loss was going well until I started using RHV and had to feed them too much because they did not like the taste.  I am now trying 4cyte and that is comprised of just tiny little balls which the dogs will eat.  

 

Sadly, I saw absolutely no improvement over the nearly four months I had the dogs on the RHV.

It does seem to depend quite a bit on the individual dog.  I'm using it prophylactically primarily along with a glucosamine/chondroitin/MSM chew … have done for years .. and  (touch wood) my 10,5 year old Agility BC seems to be in good shape.  Not a fussy eater though.

 

I was talking with a friend yesterday who has been using RHCV for a year or more for her multi problem GSD who must be coming up towards 12 or maybe is 12.   She is absolutely happy with it, and how well her dog is doing on it compared with before .. his other food and meds regime is the same.

Best thing I have used for my Cavaliers. 

Lilly  8 yrs old had a sore back that would not go away. After a week on RHV I saw great improvement.  After two to three weeks she was back to her bouncy self. I put my other girl Georgea 10 yrs old on it as well she was running around like a puppy a week later. Have had them on it for 5 months now.

@Bow Wow, do you want to buy mine?  One 500g unopened and one about 3/4 used.

Our beautiful (nearly) 14yr old Stafford is very spry, however going grey and has arthritis. We have her on 4Cyte gel/liquid and the Beransa injection monthly. She had an episode a few weeks ago where she couldn't walk properly and was toppling over- almost a neurological type event. We discovered after rushing her to the vet, her monthly injection was a little overdue as we had been on holidays, but we didn't realise how effective this injection is! Along with her strict diet of sardines, single-protein chicken mince, blueberries, pumpkin mash, carrot/broccoli/zucchini, preservative free kibble and other fruits, we were looking at Rose Hip Vital to add, but I feel like it will be a gimmick- something as useless as Tryptophan (if you have a staffy, you know what I mean). She gets 6 monthly bloods and is taking Fluoxetine and Gabapentin for anxiety/discomfort and is very happy and stable. Any thoughts on RHV, especially from a vet?

Not a vet, however I would save your money. Have you heard of Canine Arthritis Management? They’re lead by veterinarians and have a super informative website and social media presence, including private Facebook support groups you could check out. I’d see what they have to say about the evidence/risks/benefits of various supplements and other modalities.
